Day 5 since last oasis.
I….
Maybe it would be best to skip the parts about eating and reading and learning how to use the cooking appliances. Instead I will talk about the vast information in these books. There were once creatures called Dragons and Manticores and Zeberas. I wonder what they are but I would have loved to see one in my lifetime. However I will get to the point.
I was searching my ‘side’ of the area, and I found a small horn lock. I opened it in curiosity and I found a rather large diary inside. I am not sure what it holds, but I will be reading it.
Just as soon as I finish this shelf.
And…The next one.

Day X since last oasis.
I lost count of the days, these books have been throwing off my sleeping schedule. It seems wasteful to sleep a full 12 hours. I…
Well the best way to put it is to say it very simply. My daydream, it seems to be based on a very old mares tale. Apparently there was once a unicorn who fitted my daydream, right up to the becoming an Alicorn.
But as all good things she eventually grew old, being a made Alicorn and not a born one like the two immortal gods.
Speaking of gods, I wonder where they are…
Back on topic. Mustn’t get distracted by theories and the like. So much knowledge, it burrows into my mind like Parasprites, another animal of the before. So anyway as the mare lied on her deathbed, her magic activate and she ‘saw the future.’
Apparently that’s how they found out about the planet slowly draining of life.
Sorry I took a break to finish the last page of the picture book. Apparently, the immortal goddesses tried to stop it, but died in the process, dooming the world to become a barren wasteland. There’s also mention of the ponies massing to create a ‘failsafe’ but that is the end of the book.
I wonder what happened to that 3rd princess. The one that lived surrounded by crystals….

Day XX since last oasis.
I…I started reading the journal.
It mentions something I can do to save the world. Something about the spikes ‘storing’ the energy of the world until it had finally stopped draining. Something about a book becoming visible when that happened. Something about…Life having a second chance.
All folly. Life is doomed, the world is too far gone. But even so, the spell is worth giving a try. However the diary asked I continued reading before attempting. I shall do so, but first I have 50 more books and then I have read every book except the diary.
This pony…Has very good writing.

Day XXX since last oasis.
I…No…
Apparently I am the only pony that will ever have the chance to use this spell, because it is too dangerous to cast twice on one world.
And apparently all the ponies knew the spikes would kill a lot of them, and agreed to it to save their world.
All the ponies gave their lives, to give me this chance.
Makes me wonder, how they could hope so easily.
The spell also mentions…
That…
The spell will kill me.
The lone mare closed her diary and placed it in the safe, and closed the door. She looked at the area that had been her home for what felt like a lifetime. All the books, all the struggle, and the hopelessness.
At least she was giving her life up for something, rather then just dying because you were unlucky. She heaved a sigh, she didn’t want to die.
“Face it, it’s not like you’ve lived a good life either. Your entire life has been hopelessness. Might as well use it for something.” She walked toward the centre podium, and glanced to the timer.
“Five minutes” she spoke, sitting down in the middle of the circle of bodies. The timer, she now knew, counted down the moment the world would finally stop draining. It wouldn't work until the spikes had de-activated apparently. It ticked away, and she glanced toward the carvings on the clock. There were two Alicorns. She smiled, and laughed at the mockery of the sun and moon being used for time.
“Three,Two,One” she muttered, closing her eyes and starting the spell exactly on the zero, she was anything if punctual. She felt it immediately jump out of her control, and the world go dark.
Five ponies groaned as they felt themselves wake up for the first time in millennia. They gave a yawn and glanced to the body in the middle, and shared a sad look. Two, one an earth pony and one a pegasus, broke out into tears. Another earth pony and pegasus turned away. Only the unicorn gazed at the body.
“Thank you, For letting us take all the hope.”
Outside the box, the world suddenly sprung to life. Sand began to form shapes, spikes began to disappear, water and grass began to form. Oceans began to appear, mountains sprung up.
And for the first time in a very long time, the sun finally set.
